Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Take from the philosopher the pleasure of being heard and his desire for knowledge ceases.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The mechanism she employs is much more powerful than ours, for all her levers move the human heart.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Abstaining so as really to enjoy, is the epicurism, the very perfection, of reason.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Money is the seed of money.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
